In our preliminary discussion with respected British guitarist Steve Howe prior to going “on the record,” the interviewer noted that the main focus of the questions he’d prepared were oriented at accomplishing the, …um, “concept” that’s the subtitle of this article, because guitar lovers and music fans around the globe are probably familiar with the musical stylings of the man whose amazing guitar technique made such memorable recordings with such bands as Yes and Asia.
So, in an interview somewhat along the lines of previous Vintage Guitar conversations with guitarists like B.B. King and Duane Eddy, we asked Steve Howe for information concerning his instruments and recordings that would be of the most interest to guitar lovers, which might not have been detailed earlier by the erudite and gifted Howe. When VG spoke with Howe, he was in the middle of a recording project utilizing guitars from the Scott Chinery Collection; the CD was slated for release in conjunction with the collection’s photo book. It was after midnight when our cassette recorder started work, and Howe was still in the studio (he’d already been there for over 12 hours).
Bruford & Mastelotto's respective gigs may have headed down different musical paths in the past, but as King Crimson's navigating duo, their sights are set on the same goal—highly challenging and creative modern music. We catch up with the pair as they embark on the second leg of Crimson's international Thrak tour this month.
